Upgrade the lighting fixtures in your home with some of these stunners from your local Home Depot. Great light fixtures add character, scale and architectural interest to the rooms in your home. Every room should have 3 types of lighting – ambient, task and accent.
Ambient lighting subtly affects your mood. Imagine a children’s playroom flooded with natural light from a warm afternoon sun or your back porch in the evening lit by an overhead string of twinkling lights.
Task lighting is purposeful light like your desk lamp, the lights above your bathroom vanity.
Accent Lighting is intentional lighting often used highlight something like beautiful landscaping around a patio or built-in bookshelves filled with family mementos and photos.
But sadly, the lighting on most homes consists of harsh fluorescent light from dated contractor-grade overhead fixtures. Walk through your home and consider the possibilities: a pair of dramatic chandeliers over the kitchen island, a large statement piece over the dining room table or in your master bathroom?
Head to your local Home Depot or Lighting store for a little inspiration…it might make your weekend a little brighter!
